Does this version allow me to extract data field values from XFA (Livecycle) forms using the Delphi VCL ?
I need to be able to read the XFA based form and extract data based on field name or some sort of identifier.

Nic from Foxit here. XFA is only partially supported in Quick PDF Library – we recommend you try the features yourself before purchasing. We are planning on adding full support for it in Foxit PDF SDK however. That’s coming with version 6.0 early next year: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/sdk/pdf-sdk/

Could you elaborate a little bit on what the stated GeoPDF support includes? I’m not sure if this is new to version 14, or if version 14 includes any improvements to this feature?
I would like to understand, for example, how to extract positioning information from a PDF file that has been loaded by the library.
